igourmet.com is saluting blue cheese by offering this International Blue Cheese Assortment, containing four of the world's greatest blue cheeses. For creating blue cheese in the first place, we owe thanks to a micro-organism named penicillium roqueforti. This microscopic spore attaches itself to a young cheese and, assuming the cheese is laced with small cracks, multiplies and spreads blue mold throughout as the cheese matures. By the way, this little microbe is also the principal agent used in creating penicillin, the world's first antibiotic. And now, back to the cheese...

Royal Blue Stilton: This special Stilton, still produced in Leicestershire, is full, rich and creamy. Its shocking blue veins radiate outward from a natural, crinkly brown crust, revealing layers and folds of honeyed, cheddary flavor. (7.5 oz)

Paladin Blue: This specialty from German Cheesemaker Paladin has an extremely mild and creamy flavor. Paladin does crumble, but has enough moisture to slice as well. Take it along with you on a picnic, or add it to your favorite green salad. (7.5 oz)

Mountain Gorgonzola: With its white interior laced with streaks of blue, Mountain Gorgonzola is an attractive table cheese and a savory ingredient in your favorite salad. Or- try it the Italian way - on a plate drizzled with honey. (7.5 oz)

Fourme d'Ambert: This AOC (name controlled) creamy blue cheese is a lovely French treasure. Fourme d'Ambert is cave-aged for a minimum of two months, made from raw cow's milk and has a tremendous, creamy, full-bodied flavor. (7.5 oz)

Please note that any item temporarily out of stock will be substituted with a similar item of equal value.

Sent As A Gift

I did not personally taste this cheese but sent it as a gift to my Dad who absolutely loves Blue Cheese. He doesn't give out compliments easily so I knew it was good stuff when he went on and on about how delicious it was. It was a nice assortment and it arrived on time. I will definitely use igourmet again.

Fourme d'Ambert

So far this cheese is the only one I have eaten from this assortment. It is great in a salad, on a steak, or plainly eaten on a good cracker with a nice bottle of wine. Will definitely be buying this again.

Mom is very happy with delicious cheese!

I love this company b/c the cheeses are always of great quality. My mom was very happy with her birthday gift. It was late, but the was the fault of fed-ex and not you guys. And when I messaged you about it you returned my shipping costs even though it wasn't your fault. I thought that was pretty awesome on top of the fact that you guys always put out a great product. Thank you so much- I'll absolutely use you all again!
